Take the photo
out of the frame
Hold it in your hand

Feel the precious paper
between your fingers
Study the image

An image someone
chose to capture

Were you there?
Was it before your time?

Is the one pictured
someone you know?
Someone you miss?

Perhaps it is a place
that holds meaning
Or simply beautiful scenery

Take the photo
out of the frame
Hold it in your heart

I wrote this after digging through photos at Mom’s last weekend. School photos, trips, holidays…family. I brought a few of them home. ❤️
